Sweet Dreams Little One
A young Great Horned Owl named Luca, probably about three weeks old or so lowers his eyelids as the daylight fades into evening dusk.
Luca is developing quickly into a big strong owl, already sporting colored feathers on his face at about 10 days of age.
Luca later in life became a foot soldier in the Family as the deliverer of bad news.
And in a twist of fate, Luca Brasi now sleeps with the fishes.
